Verse 1
Who am I? Like you, I'm simply a man of dust -- that's true/
But I got that news that's able to rescue us and to set them captives loose
You say that's lame man? Ok man, Imma still just kick this plain man
Bout how my God became man to save man for His name and
Then extol, Im bigging Him up, He's bigger than us
He got that fresh flow (grace)/ oh yes He has forgiven us much
You say who's us some type of club?
No sir it's that beloved
That squad who God has copped in love, and He bought us with His blood
But I really gotta stress that we're a mess though
But His love and faithfulness show
That though we go astray like sheep there's a shepherd that can fetch souls/ And He bled for this debtor, cause the wage of sinning means d**h's owed/ but, in love and He paid that debt like a check that's signed with xoxxo/ Hecks, heck no! This Jesus has no weakness!/ But its easy to get confused but this substitute, He died for the weakest/ so we get, forgiven from sin, delivered and cleansed but peep it/ Forevermore, yo we get the Lord, and yeah we've been restored to see --this is Love
This Is Love...
Th-this is LOVE!
Verse 2
This is Love, not starting with us, naw -- but starting with Him/ you heard that God so loved us, that He sent His Son to propitiate for sin?/ meaning that since we all have transgressed, not just in the past, but still/ somebody had to bear that, because this God and His holy wrath is real!/ Christ got k**ed, got stretched out, got battered and blood got shed/ just see this God-Man, He's God man, but man, that blood was red!/ I'll tell you what Jesus supplied/ got crucified and He died/ so that we, though while still weak and dead, might receive new life and rise/ from the deep pit of sin and d**h/ from our bondage and distress/ now freed by love and then freed to love and enjoy the Lord, and yet/ I find my love for Him, that though present, it flickers like a flame does/ (yeah) but yet I can trust His love cause I know He never changes!/ from ages to ages, immutable, changeless/ no shifting like them shadows do/ no, He never goes through stages/ and so, at any time, we can look to the cross and know/ that though it's rugged and drenched in blood its, really God's chosen means to show... this is love/
This Is Love...
Th-this is LOVE!
I mean how else would I use my time/ than to unpack how God is kind/ in how He made us, then to save us, and sustain and glorify/ Now to you that may get boring, but to me there's nothing better/ than to just think on what my Lord has done to bring us back together!/ And so I tell you of my Shepherd/ Oh man haven't you heard?/ About this Savior come from Nazareth that can save us from the curse/ and if you haven't -- look no further/ Just see Jesus on that hill/ And see Him die for man, and then rise again, so that we might know and feel --This is LOVE!
